@Squirrel1633K @brakeboosted Not denying that, but Hamilton is also very strong there too. His stats don't tell the full story because he has had a history of bad luck there (4 DNFs - the most of any circuit). Remember he won 2024 there too - and let's not forget the infamous w11 quali lap around there 😆.

@noobbricks @brakeboosted @the_zb_ Brother, he's shown stronger race pace in almost every race this season the Russell 😭😭. If anyone looks like choking at the moment, it's Russell. I just can't see Antonelli, suddenly dropping stinkers like Piastri did from baku onwards last year.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@brakeboosted @the_zb_ Mate... antonelli is not going to choke like piastri/mclaren. Come on now...

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@Trailbraking16 @brakeboosted sf25 + new team tax, also his best lap was only 3 tenths slower than leclerc's. the insane field spread just punished that harder. besides, maximising slow cars is worthless if you can't do the same with race winning ones.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@brakeboosted Probably add spa in that too tbf.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@brakeboosted An optimistic brakeboosted? Man we're heading in uncharted territory lol. Also, he has to contend with hamilton in silverstone and hungary during that stretch too.

@liv16_liv @mcusteveworthy 23 year old in his 7th season of f1.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@liv16_liv @the_zb_ @mcusteveworthy An 81 point gap however, is something.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@liv16_liv @the_zb_ @mcusteveworthy don't confuse emotional outward expression with psychological fragility. Title-fight Lewis is almost immovable. See 2021, where in the final stages, verstappen was the one who was cracking - not hamilton. See 2017 or 2018 also. When hamilton sniffs a title, he becomes a force.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@the_zb_ @F1_driven Yeah, but the saving grace is mercedes were perhaps not expecting to receive ADUO this season (unlike ferrari who were preparing for months). So even though they've been given the eligibility, they probably are just starting developing right now with a long (4-8 month) lead time.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@Danelerc at least he perfectly predicted p8 😭😭

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@simscircuit Smart guy.

@brakeboosted @boostedbrakes inject it into my veins

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@brakeboosted @SFsupporter @PolePositionist I'd rather sacrifice the short term (only 4 more problematic races to go until belgium), and protect the chassis development direction, than nerf our strong points (downforce). I get it's painful, but that's ferrari for you - building an excellent chassis in a PU dominated era 🤩

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@brakeboosted @maranellosun16 A 10hp deficit, can be overcome with chassis/aero - 30hp cannot

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@brakeboosted @maranellosun16 Too many times in the past, teams have tried to cut back on development mid-season, early, to try to prioritise next year - and all too many times it has failed. I say, that you just take the performance gain and catapult yourself back into the fight.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@brakeboosted @ZermaneSalah19 We have to worry about every circuit (except monaco) until this new engine 😭😭.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@FormulaRana I say that, because higher downforce naturally leads to worse raceability and following ability (e.g. the 2022 – 2025 ground effect cars evolution).

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@FormulaRana That's not necessarily true – some tracks naturally lend itself to higher top speeds (e.g. baku, monza, mexico city, las vegas etc.), and with current ~1000hp engines, they have no problem surpassing 330kph. Either that or downforce (and thus induced drag) is too high.

[Samuel Esayas @Samuel_Gamer9]

@FulvioVigilante @ArkhamusJ One of the most damaging contracts to the image of the sport. Always ending a season on a dogshit track for racing.
